On December 29th, NC State will play Arizona St. in the 84th Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.
NC State was hoping to land a bowl game destination that would be easy for their fan base to travel to.
Not one 1,822.7 miles away.
Not a 27 hour drive.
Not 1 day and 22 hours on a train.
Not 164 hours by bike.
Not 597 hours walking.
Something like the TaxSlayer Bowl, formerly known as the Gator Bowl, in Jacksonville, Florida, but they decided to go with unranked Louisville. The Louisville team NC State beat, and finished 2 games ahead of in the ACC Atlantic.
